The nvidia drivers supplied with Natty and before may not support your graphics card. Therefore, add the PPA containing more recent drivers:

+

+

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates

+

+

Next, add the Bumblebee PPA:

+

+

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable

+

sudo apt-get update

+

sudo apt-get install bumblebee

Bumblebee allows you to run specific programs on the discrete graphic card, inside of an X session using the integrated graphic card.
Martin Juhl started with the project and published under GPL v3. To improve co-operation, some developers decided to fork the project into a team: Bumblebee-Project.
